With the introduction of the second-gen Cadillac CTS-V, the high-performance Caddy not only got a substantial upgrade in the powertrain department, but was also offered in three distinct body styles, including a sedan, coupe, and station wagon. Of course, the wagon configuration was arguably the most unique, so with that in mind, today we’re checking out a 2013 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon that is currently up for auction.
Listed for auction on Cars & Bids, this particular CTS-V Wagon is a unicorn amongst unicorns, as it features the rare six-speed manual transmission and just a single owner. Beyond that, this super station wagon boasts less than 50,000 miles on the odometer.
Right off the bat, this 2013 CTS-V Wagon is equipped with some desirable features, including a limited-slip differential, the Magnetic Ride Control suspension setup, Brembo brakes, 19-inch wheels, the Recaro High Performance Seat package, an Ultraview sunroof, and the Midnight Sapele Wood Trim Package. It’s finished in Glacier Blue Metallic paint, an uncommon hue on the CTS-V wagon.
Perhaps most notably, the seller reports that the high-performance Caddy is unmodified.
Under the hood lies the supercharged 6.2L V8 LSA gasoline engine, which developed 556 horsepower and 551 lb-ft of torque when it rolled off the assembly line. As previously mentioned, a six-speed manual transmission directs said output to the rear wheels.
Unfortunately, an intermittent check engine light / P0300 misfire code was found during an inspection. In fact, this particular CTS-V wagon has a number of known flaws, including weathered paint, a misaligned front spoiler, curb rash on the wheels, old tires, wear on the seats and carpets, and some corrosion on underbody components.
Could you envision yourself shelling out some hard-earned cash for this 2013 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon, or are the known flaws just too much to ignore? Remember to vote in the poll below and fire off what you’re thinking in the comments section.

Beautiful car
Interesting, pricing about what I’d expect. 50K miles and some issues. I’ve seen asks as high as 70k although I doubt they got it. I paid less than that for my 2011 new. Still love mine. No plan to part with it.
Looks like it’s been “rode hard and put-away wet”.
Very nice and I love the color. As with all hot rods, they will always need something no matter what you pay.
I had a 2013 V Wagon, 6-speed, Thunder Gray. Loved that car, hated the gas mileage…my right foot gets stuck to the gas pedal. That car drew a crowd everywhere I went.
Wish I had the money!
Up to 46 with 4 hours left. Wonder if it will hit 50???
Whoa, 52.5 final price.
